Chapter 343: Seeing Through the Scheme

Zhang Songbai was speechless when Guo Zhiyuan grabbed the language disease and refuted it, but Liu Anzhi on the side was more slippery, stood up and said: "Lord Guo, Lord Zhang is also a gaffe for a while, we really didn't expect Dongfan to be so hard, it is difficult to adapt for a while, adults practice it, it is really a model for us......"

Guo Zhiyuan didn't hold on to it, waved his hand and said: "When you first arrived in Dongfan, it is inevitable that it will be difficult to adapt for a while, and the official will not be held accountable, but you had better be psychologically prepared, as an official in Dongfan, it is inevitable to endure hardships, but the government has made a military order in front of the saint, and dedicates 100,000 taels of tax silver to the court every year. ……”

Seeing that Guo Zhiyuan moved Emperor Wanli out, everyone didn't dare to say anything even if they complained, and lowered their heads one by one and began to drink porridge, fortunately, they were tired and hungry, and this sweet potato porridge was not as difficult to swallow as imagined.

Guo Zhiyuan looked secretly funny, put down the bowl and stood up and waved his hand: "Your Excellency has worked hard, just rest early, and continue tomorrow!" ......" he said, turning and leaving.

When everyone heard that they were going to continue tomorrow, they all suddenly turned into bitter gourd faces, watching Guo Zhiyuan's back disappear at the door, and suddenly cursed loudly with resentment, who knew that Guo Zhiyuan walked to the door and suddenly killed a horse pistol, and walked back, the cursing stopped abruptly, and everyone had to hold back the evil words that were half scolded, and their faces were red, so uncomfortable!

Guo Zhiyuan laughed secretly, but pretended not to hear everyone's cursing, and said expressionlessly: "By the way, there is another thing I forgot to tell you, there are some natives on this Dongfan Island, who do not obey the king, and often come to harass, you must not walk around, if there is an accident, it will be bad!" ......" After saying that, he left again without looking back.

This time, everyone learned a lesson, until they couldn't hear Guo Zhiyuan's footsteps anymore, and sent someone to the door to look around to make sure that Guo Zhiyuan had really left, then they breathed a sigh of relief, and began to curse Guo Zhiyuan angrily again.

After venting, everyone also calmed down, Liu Anzhi clapped his palms to signal everyone to calm down, and said with a gloomy face: "Guo Zhiyuan is my superiors after all, and it is not easy to sue him only based on our empty words, and it is imperative that we first negotiate a charter and work together to hope that we can bring him down and get out of today's evil spirit!" ……”

Zhang Songbai and Liu Anzhi on the side glanced at each other, although the two were a little wrong, they both knew that they had to join forces to deal with Guo Zhiyuan, so they reached a tacit understanding in an instant, Zhang Songbai slapped the table hard and said viciously: "Lord Liu is right, Guo Zhiyuan obviously deliberately wants to give us a dismount, and wants us to retreat in the face of difficulties, we will never let him get his wish!" Guo Zhiyuan doesn't want us to stay in Dongfan, there must be a secret that cannot be seen and is afraid that we will know, we will pretend to be obedient and patient first, and then wait for the opportunity to collect Guo Zhiyuan's illegal evidence, and then we will jointly impeach him to the imperial court, not afraid that we will not be able to bring him down! ……”

After a day of farm work, they were too tired to work, so they went back to their rooms to rest, and slept until midnight, when they suddenly heard a rapid gong sound outside, and then someone shouted in a panic: "Shengfan is here!" I'm coming! Everyone was woken up from a half-dream, completely unaware of what was happening, and hurriedly put on their clothes and got up to investigate.

Liu Anzhi's room was next door to Zhang Songbai, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly grabbed him, lowered his voice in horror and said: "Lord Zhang, this life is a little strange, could it be that the surname Guo wants to kill people, right?!" ……”

This Zhang Songbai is not incompetent, although he also has some drumming in his heart, he still forced himself to calm down: "Most of them are ghosts done by Guo Zhiyuan, but he shouldn't dare to kill people, if we really die here, he can't explain to the court, unless he wants to rebel openly!" He must have deliberately sent someone to pretend to be a student to scare us, so as to drive us out of Dongfan......"

Liu Anzhi gave a thumbs up and said: "Master Zhang is really witty, he saw through Guo Zhiyuan's tricks at a glance, the surname Guo is so vicious, what should we do?" ……”

Zhang Songbai saw that Liu Anzhi took the initiative to bow his head to him, so he sneered a little proudly: "We must not let Guo Zhiyuan's treacherous plan succeed, he sent someone to pretend to be a shengfan, the number of people should not be too much, we brought a lot of family guards this time, it's a big deal to fight with them, as long as a few captives are caught for trial, Guo Zhiyuan's crime of murdering the imperial court official will be confirmed!" ……”

Liu Anzhi's eyes lit up, and he slapped his hand vigorously and said: "Lord Zhang is brave and strategic, then we will plan ......."

Hearing this analysis of the two, everyone also felt a lot more calm, and they went to gather their guards one after another, but they were stopped by the soldiers guarding the post house: "Your Excellency, you'd better stay in the room and don't come out, otherwise it's not good to be injured by mistake!" ……”

Seeing that the guards were blocking them, Zhang Songbai became more and more convinced that this was Guo Zhiyuan's plan, and snorted coldly: "What is there to be afraid of? I am the same acquaintance of the Dongfan Mansion, and it is the officer's duty to catch the thief and arrest the Kou, and I will quickly dodge away, and wait for the official to inspect one or two......" As he spoke, he proudly pushed the soldier aside and strode out of the door.

Everyone is a civilian official, and they have never experienced the dangerous scenes of war, seeing Zhang Songbai taking the lead, they are even more afraid, and they are surrounded by Zhang Songbai and run outside the door of the post house, and the soldiers guarding have already been ordered by their superiors, so they no longer forcibly block them, and let them go.

At this time, the eunuchs all have the habit of supporting the family guards, which is equivalent to their private soldiers, and these Beijing officials all have a background, so there are really a lot of family guards brought this time, adding up to more than 100 people, and these family guards are all good and brave people they have recruited, all have martial arts, and the treatment is also very good.

Came to the door of the post house, only to see that there are dots of torches in the distance are rushing towards this side, accompanied by the "roar, roar" shout, look at the number of torches does not seem to be very many, Zhang Songbai and others are even more determined, command his guards to line up in a neat phalanx to prepare to resist the enemy, Zhang Songbai waved his hand, shouted loudly: "Raise soldiers for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, today is a great opportunity for you to make meritorious contributions, you just have to fight bravely to kill the enemy, the official will be seriously injured, kill one enemy, the official will reward fifty taels of silver, capture one person alive, This official will reward one hundred taels of silver! ……”
